Can I use this while the iron is hot? Or only when it is cold? I want to put my iron on this holder while it's warming up, when it's hot, etc.

This is the reason I bought this product. My wife would always leave her iron on. You can have it on while on the holder.

The holder is of very poor quality. Even if you bent up to reduce the tendency for it to droop, any iron will make it sag. The heavier the iron, the worse it will be. Save your money and buy something else.

I'm not familiar with Hakko iron, but mine is a small 30 watt pencil iron. If you have an expensive iron you likely have a soldering station anyway. If in doubt fill the underside with magnets enough to hold it down. Use your ingenuity. This is a simple but effective and sturdy holder. Did I mention economic?

Yes, it was designed to hold hot tools and has a special metal insert to place your hot tools in. You can use it while your tools are on.

I have had hot coffee the next day. I love this container and would buy another one. I always fill with hottest water from faucet and put cap on it while my coffee is brewing. I haven't used it for cold but it stands to reason if you fill it with coldwater and ice and let it sit for 5 min. then put what ever you want to keep cold.

Hi! I bought this item while ago, I like this item because it durable and I think if you install rack properly it can hold ironing board for long time. Sincerely, Anatoliy 06/12/14

As a barber I've used a hot towel warmer for years. My preferred method is to fold the towel twice over, wet it, roll it, and wring it out, then put in the warmer. Without wringing it out it would be too hot and drippy. Dry it wouldn't hold it's heat once out. Plus... This isn't the sort of towel warmer to use for say... Warming a bath towel. More of a hand, neck, or face towel warmer. Hope that was helpful

I agree with Isabella. While it does get warm, provided you keep the handle straight up it does not get too hot to pick up if you don't use a potholder. I also use mine on a cast iron wood stove and have never had a problem.

set your iron to the low end of synthetic- cool to slightly warm. This is a cheap poly synthetic, with a low melting point. good luck!

Can use when cast iron is warm or when it has cooled enough to put in water to loosen residue.

It is not for the stove. Yes it will be hot because it holds the heat throughout the iron. I do not use the cups because of that reason.

Warm, I would say - it depends on what you are cooking - how high the temp - how long the time. I don't have to use potholders often with it, but sometimes....

Hello Sally, I promise; you will not have a problem holding and using it. My sister is small and actually she is who I bought it for. She loves the light weight. You can't go wrong. Easier than using an iron. Good luck!

It is very important that you get a holder for the iron that is very open. I, and several others in a recent stained glass class, burned out our irons by having them in holders that were more enclosed - with less air getting to the iron. Luckily were able to talk to a Haiko representative immediately to determine the problem. He also reiterated that the iron should be turned off with solder coating the tip if it will not be used more than 15-20 minutes. It does reheat very quickly. Since using a Haiko holder (633) I've had no problems.

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt once the wok has heated up. The handle gets hot when the wok is fully heated.

It's only supposed to go down while you are ironing and then it pops back up. This was a problem for me because when I went to use my travel iron or the iron in my other home I would leave them laying down instead of upright. I then scorched a few things. I would not replace this iron there are much better one's on the market.
